Ok with stock voltage I have the cards at 900core and 1ghz memory. Given how hot the cards run I don't want to push them anymore. They run so hot I can't even touch the pcb's. I guess that's was happens when a block is just a flat sheet. :dead: However I do have a game plan on the temps. If the …

I mean look at that kit up there, slapping that together in 1979 would probably have been good for a Master's thesis in E-E, now hobbyists do it. Your answer: this particular xt board is 2 layer, they are very cheap, it like slighty expanded zx-spectrum board. for 486 chipsets you'll never find …

You really dont know what it takes to develop hardware. Go ahead and develop a 486 motherboard. Or find someone that can

XT class hardware is nowhere as complex as a 486 system. If this was not the case we would see 486 class system kits.

Since I'm still waiting on the asus p5e64 evolution I chose to hold off on over clocking the cpu, but the 4890's are far game. First I need to get an idea of how hot the cards get. Since I have a rad between the cpu and the two cards the heat from the cpu should not be a problem all that much. My …

Just fyi, modern high end atx boards can cost upto 100k to get into production. Lower end ones are around 50k. Now a 486 board is nowhere as complex as a modern baord, but find a supplyer for the parts and engineeris that know how to develop 486 class hardware theses days.

The blocks i have are just a flat sheet of nickel platted copper. The channels on the the plastic top. I could etch up the surface abit, cant see that helping much, but maybe it will. But I do know preformace pcs has heat killer blocks. But for like 100$ For just one. Until they come down on that …

Cant say i like the blocks on the 4890s, they arnt much better then air. But they are meant for the 4870 and arnt a very good block to begin with. Ill keep an eye out for something better. They do look nice.

Topic, best PC, not best computer Tell that to luckybob. Really the only things I would be doing is playing games that came out in the year 2000. I already have older and newer computers. Nothing from after Dec. 31, 2000 will go on it. So with that being said, would a multi cpu machine be a bit …
